They sometimes need to be interpreted and ruled on.There are different interpretations, do you not realize that?More ignorance and stupidity from the right – in addition to hypocrisy.Outlawing abortions has already been declared unconstitutional. What do you have against the Constitution?
There is a difference between something being declared unconstitutional and something actually being unconstitutional. 5 of 9 unlected lawyers may have the power to make crap up, but we don't have to accept it.
Supreme Court justices aren’t subject to elections for a very good and sound reason: the practice is consistent with the fact that we are not a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic, whose citizens are subject solely to the rule of law, not men – as men are incapable of ruling justly; and the rule of law would perish if jurists were subject to ‘popular vote,’ and the injustice inherent in the democratic process.
That this has to be explained to a conservatives comes as no surprise, and is frankly disturbing.
Moreover, when the Heller Court ruled un-Constitutional the DC handgun ban, we heard nothing from the ridiculous right about 5 of 9 unelected lawyers ‘making crap up,’ such as an individual right to possess a firearm.
When the Supreme Court rules that a given measure is un-Constitutional, it is actually un-Constitutional – whether that measure violates the rights of gun owners or the privacy rights of women.
Conservatives can’t have it both ways.
1. I have never considered us a democracy, and have pointed out the nature of our republic several times.
2. What needs to be explained to progressive twats such as yourself that courts were never meant to create new rights, and legislate from the bench, which is the current progressive model of "progress".
3. The right to keep and bear arms is explicit in the document, unlike all the "rights" you idiots come up with.
4. A right is inherent, all the government can do is protect it or supress it, and saying something is unconstituional even if idiot judges decide it is not is my RIGHT, you snivelling drive by hack.
5. My views are far more consistent than any progressive twatwaddle you can come up with.
What does that have to do with anything?
